CAILINI FAOI 12
Our U 12 Girls travelled to Connolly Park on Tuesday evening last to take on Firies in the Co. League Division 2 Final. Our opponents playing with the aid of a strong breeze dominated the early exchanges and led by 3 – 4 to 0 – 0 after 15 minutes. However, our girls then settled and scored 2 points from Eimear Curran and Rachel Creedon which saw us down by 11 points at half time. At the start of the second half Ballymac showed great character and despite a constant downpour for most of the half we had reduced the deficit to 5 points 3 – 4 to 1 – 5 with 10 minutes remaining. Alyssa Leen being the Ballymac goal scorer. However, our hopes of a spectacular comeback were dashed when in a rare attack Firies struck for a goal which was to be their only score of the half. Our girls never gave up and a goal by Roisin Rahilly gave us renewed hope but time ran out on our girls and it was Firies who were celebrating at the final whistle. Final score Firies 4 – 4 Ballymac 2 – 5. While our girls were disappointed they did themselves and the Club proud on the night especially the way they fought back after a sluggish start. Well done to coaches Jer Lynch, Siobhan Leen, Anthony Curran and Mike Quirke who had the girls well prepared for the night. Many thanks also to the large number of supporters who travelled on the night to cheer on the girls.
